CHEF SERIES: Andrew Gruel Gets Creative with Regal Springs Tilapia

October is National Seafood Month and Slapfish, a modern seafood franchise serving up bold, craveworthy dishes, is on a mission to raise awareness of the misconceptions of farmed fish.

Aquaculture plays a key role in preserving the oceans, as it takes pressure off wild stocks that may be endangered. Slapfish strives to provide well-managed seafood of the highest quality, straight from the source to the restaurant. When fish are raised from hatch to harvest in healthy, pristine lakes, as they are at Regal Springs, they are free of all antibiotics, hormones and chemicals, making for an overall better-tasting (and better-for-you) fish.

“Although farmed seafood supplies nearly half of all fish consumed globally, there are still many misconceptions surrounding aquaculture. In fact, many U.S. residents blindly purchase farmed seafood from overseas in countries using antibiotics when they can access high-quality, locally sourced species from responsible suppliers such as Regal Springs,” says Chef Andrew Gruel, founder and CEO of Slapfish. Through this partnership, we look forward to spreading the word that seafood can be farmed in a healthy, delicious and sustainable way—both for the consumer and the fish.”
